Anyone here into firearms?

These are people that think an AR type weapon is more deadly against UNARMED targets than any other type of weapon. A Ruger 10/22 could be just as deadly against a group of elementary school kids for crying out loud.

Regardless, people that want the AWB generally think ALL guns are evil, not just AR types. They view an AWB as a start to a total ban... which it is, when you think about it.

Agreed! To think someone can't attach a 100rd drum to a glock and be just effective is silly. The AWB could essentially make anything like this an Assault weapon leaving the door open to take away all guns.

Guns for the most of us are a defensive weapon or a tool to fill your table or freezer with food or maybe simply a hobby. Anyone who has taken a gun class hopefully was taught where you can't have a gun. Places that restrict our ability to use our defensive weapons is exactly where these people like to strike.
